Use Report Designers to create Telerik Reporting report definitions. We provide two report designer options.
Both report authoring environments include features such as WYSIWYG report design surface, enhanced support for
expressions and wizards for creating graphs, maps, crosstabs, tables, band and label reports. Define interactive features such as parameters,
bookmarks, drillthrough and drilldown actions.

Works with XML report definitions packaged in a zip archive (.TRDP) or in plain legacy format (.TRDX):

No need to recompile your projects when modifying the report definition;

No need to upgrade - you can directly open older report definition with a newer version of the
Standalone Report Designer, report viewer or report service;
The report definition will be automatically upgraded when edited and saved with the Standalone Report Designer;

This format can be stored and managed with the
Report Server and other kind of storages such as database;

The report documents in zip archive (.TRDP) stores report resource in the zip.
This way the report definition is faster to handle and more compact.
Thus our recommendation is to use the (.TRDP) report document format.
